Composition for a villain

By Alivia D’Elton

The piece I have chosen to create for my composition has a futuristic, eerie and foreboding feel. My inspiration came from music in sci-fi action and horror films, delivering a high sense of suspense and intensity. I wanted to create an elevated suspenseful experience for the audience, dramatic, dark and tormenting, depicting a villain, unpredictable, feared, and revered. I have manipulated a variety of music elements and compositional devices, including texture, expressive techniques, pitch, and tonality to create characterisation and mood.
